Edward Thomasson was the inaugral South London Gallery Graduate Resident from 2011 - 2012.

In October 2011 Edward Thomasson moved into the SLG’s Outset Artists’ Flat as the recipient of the inaugural Nina Stewart Artist Residency. For six months he benefited from a studio courtesy of SPACE and a programme of mentoring from SLG and SPACE staff, as well as invited curators and other experts, culminating in a solo exhibition, Inside, in the SLG’s first floor galleries from March – May 2012.

During the residency Thomasson used the flat as the location for a series of practical workshops forming the basis of a new video and series of drawings born from his interest in the use of performance as a strategy for negotiating everyday life. To accompany the exhibition a publication of the same title, Inside, was commissioned, and in 2013 Thomasson produced an exclusive limited edition print, Jasmine Printing, both available from the SLG shop.
